Then it might be elevated to Criminal Trespass.Inform your Tenants, perhaps post a "reminder" Notice, that the neighbor has requested they not cross his property, and they do so at their own peril.The fact is, here, Cops don't even issue tickets of any kind for Trespass.

@Mary Jay sign the addendum after background check and criminal record as she is an adult.

NY Landlord-Tenant Laws are out of this world, Our Attorney General is a criminal.

The key to finding "good" tenants regardless of income levels (because even high income earners can be more of a headache at times); is thorough screening (background criminal check, credit check, skip-trace check, housing court check) as well as reviewing bank statements, check stubs, 2 previous employers, references, previous landlords (at least 2) and where needed, personal guarantors. 

This checks criminal, credit and evictions.

I have a two year degree in criminal justice and recently changed my major to finance, real estate and law(cal poly pomona).

We have a no eviction or criminal record so it makes it really easy!

What if a foreign national on a work visa wants to rent from you and he's unable to pass a credit check or criminal background?

Anyway, I'm not going to defend criminals or fraudsters, but you're totally wrong on housing values.I find your use of scare quotes condescending.

And I'm not too proud to ask for advice, so here I am :) I do have hardlined "principles" for denial for some items like felonies, evictions, and income, but credit is a gray area for me.Anyway, I have an applicant that I get a good gut feel from, has no criminal history, has no evictions, and the pay stub indicates the income is 4.5x the monthly rent.
